One wonders, which of the three are the case, for the would be Commander-in-Chief, who has “reported for duty.” Perhaps the initiation of a Freedom of Information Act (F.O.I.A.) request to the U.S. federal government in this case is both desirable and necessary at this time.

I'll be back for follow up chat in a little while. Thanks Freepers.

would the CIA pick a man with less than 2 months in country time and a home movie camera exploiting his battles? doubt it.

Anyone know if there was any suicides of POWs after they were released and having to endure the Kerry Rhetoric?

[donozark]

There is some confusion as to precise date the SWIFT Boats were deployed to inland waterways from An Thoi. Some say Jan. 1969. But I have read earlier reports on "detailed missions" they went inland.

An Thoi was at southern end of Phu Quoc Island in Gulf of Siam. 60 miles offshore, but due west of Ha Tien, which was across river from Cambodia. The SWIFT Boats were primarily utilized to interdict supplies/communist individuals from Cambodia. A southern "Ho Chi Minh Trail" if you would.

Anyone who knows the PRECISE date SWIFT Boats entered inland waterways of RVN, please post same. I have no personal knowledge of these events, I was at the other end of the map, so to speak.

Oddly enough, Phu Quoc Island is now a major resort area. Quite lovely in fact.

Only one GI died there during the war. But I do not know if KIA or accident, or "misadventure."

Today a Kerry campaign offical stated that Kerry remembers being in Cambodia in December 1968

Tough to say. First, we know that Jerry is a liar. Second, we know that nothing is more important to him than advancing himself so his "sacred oath" is a joke, a person's oath is only as good as the person. Hell, he ADMITTED (or claimed) to committing war crimes in front of a Congressional committee. He knes the 'Rat controlled Congress was not going to do squat and would NEVER prosecute him. Hell, they were so eager to damage Nixon that they let Kerry get up on the stand and LIE repeatedly.

[VRW Conspirator]

A) Senator Kerry is a serial liar.

I take 'A' for a $100. Kerry is the epidemy of the leadership of the Democrat party. I do expect politicians to make promises that they only might keep. Yet, Kerry will say anything at any given time to gain favor. If people are looking for the legacy of Bill Clinton, then they need only to look at John Kerry.

[Izzy Dunne]

I gotta go with "A", Alex.

Kerry's in country six weeks, with a rep as a loudmouth blowhard, and they want to send him up the river into Cambodia on a secret mission?

I'm not a military commander, but I don't think I make THAT call.

[marty60]

The real question is....WAS J fIN kERRY THE SOURCE FOR THIS BOOKS CONTENTION?

[Jenya]

My money is on B. Pinnochio wouldn't be called upon by the CIA for dangerous covert missions. He wasn't in Vietnam long enough, and his family was too well-connected.

sKerry is pathological, much like Buffalo Bill Clinton.

William B. Rood was not actually ON Kerry's boat.

Mommy Heinz!
Help!

Look what the Washington Post said on 8/21/04

"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published Kerry's full military records on their Web site (with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year), they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records. A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information. A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan, said he was not authorized to release the full file, which consists of at least a hundred pages. "

Look! What the Harvard Crimson wrote about me in 1970

John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress
By SAMUEL Z. GOLDHABER
Crimson Staff Writer

"...One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village
but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command
simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be
friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies,
and better educational facilities."

Against the War


Mommy : Please don't be mad
about my hero Al Hubbard.

Head of Kerry's Vietnam Vets Against the War was Vietnam Vet phony
"Many of the stories were later shown to be fictional. Other so-called Vietnam veterans, such as the executive secretary of VVAW, Al Hubbard, a self-styled poet ("See what you've become, Amerika," ends one of his Vietnam odes),
turned out to have no record of service in Vietnam."


Mommy : Why does McCain
still campaign with Bush?
Mommy : Why doesn't Al Gore defend me?
He is a Vietnam Vet.

Mommy : Did Hillary
"leak" FBI Files on me?
I even used her famous slogan?

"Kerry entered and abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered domestic animals
owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter."



It only takes one idiot to raze a village!
(My original response!)

Mommy : Where is Ted Kennedy?

[Carolinamom]

May I posit a 4th possibility? He is a liar who has repeated this "story" so often that he has come to believe his own lies.

[kabar]

I pick A. We know Kerry lied over 50 times that he was in Cambodia on Xmas Eve. Now that it is proven to be a bogus story, we have a new timeframe. He was lying about Xmas Eve and he is lying now about his forays into Cambodia. He is a serial liar.

Just wait til Mom and Pop in Flyover Country find out that Kerry's photo is on the wall in some war memorabilia museum in Hanoi.

[gathersnomoss]

"Senator Kerry was in illegally Cambodia but was not a part of US government covert operations."

Not likely considering he was only in Viet Nam for a total of four months. Didn't Kerry have someone film the chopping of the pine Christmas tree?

a junior Lt being given a mission that his whole chain of command didnt know about?

[ApesForEvolution]

Apocalypse Now was about John Kerry...has anyone investigated how many ounces of marijuana John Kerry smoked/smokes on a weekly basis?

I think he was on a mighty communist ideological 'trip' or 'mission' after his Yale 'experience', including Skull and Bones, and crafted his memories over a pipe or a joint, never thinking his gigolo ways would get him in a position to get to the top of the heap.

I wonder if he thought it would pan out really, and smoked himself into such a stupor that he 'seared, seared' many, many things into his now Swiss Cheese Power Tripping' brain.

I predict boldly that when totally cornered, John Kerry will blame drugs and stress for his postwar traumatic syndrome and try to turn the whole thing around...
